OBTAINING QT 6 FROM GIT
|
|
=======================
|
|
|
|
Synopsis
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
For a more in-depth description on how to build Qt 6 from git,
|
|
please see: http://wiki.qt.io/Building_Qt_6_from_Git
|
|
|
|
Note that, although the git module is called qt5.git, the dev and 6.x branches
|
|
do contain Qt 6!
|
|
|
|
Get The Submodules
|
|
==================
|
|
|
|
Cloning qt5.git does not automatically clone all submodules.
|
|
To get the submodules, it is recommended to use the `init-repository' script.
|
|
|
|
./init-repository
|
|
|
|
See `./init-repository -help' for full documentation on the many supported
|
|
options.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Update The Submodules (optional)
|
|
================================
|
|
|
|
After a plain `git clone' and `init-repository', you will have each submodule
|
|
checked out to a particular SHA1. This combination of SHA1s is guaranteed to
|
|
have passed some basic acceptance testing.
|
|
|
|
If (and only if!) you need newer versions of some submodules, you can manually
|
|
fetch and/or pull and/or reset any modules you like, or use the qt5_tool to
|
|
pull all modules:
|
|
|
|
./qtrepotools/bin/qt5_tool -p
|
|
|
|
NOTE! As soon as you change the SHA1 of any submodule, you are using a
|
|
combination of modules which is potentially untested and broken! If you want
|
|
something which is more likely to compile, stick to the module SHA1s provided
|
|
in this repository.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Install The Git Grafts (optional)
|
|
=================================
|
|
|
|
If you want to be able to connect the Qt5 and Qt4 development history, you
|
|
may set up git grafts with the following command:
|
|
|
|
git submodule foreach '../qtrepotools/bin/git-qt-grafts <path_to_history>'
|
|
|
